OPERATION
WARNING
DANGER
Flying debris hazard. Never operate unit as a vacuum unless
discharge elbow is installed and debris bag is securely cinched to
elbow. Failure to follow instructions can result in serious injuries.
1.
Adjust debris bag strap to support bag on operator’s shoulder.
Bag must not be folded at intake area, or intake will clog. Further
adjustment may be necessary as the debris bag fills and becomes
heavier.
2.
Grip top handle with left hand, and rear handle with right hand.
Keep unit to your right side so hot exhaust will be directed away
from you.
3.
Operate unit with beveled end of tube facing downward. Keep
tube opening close to material being vacuumed for best results.
NOTE
Vacuum action works best at higher engine speeds. Avoid using
vacuum in areas where rocks or other large, hard debris may be
vacuumed into unit. Clear these areas with blower first, blowing
light debris into a pile. Use attachment to vacuum pile.
4.
Empty bag when debris level reaches intake opening. To empty
bag, move stop switch to “Stop” position, and wait for blower to
stop running. Loosen Velcro strap at elbow and slide bag off
elbow. Open other end of bag, and empty contents. Close bag,
and reattach to blower. Secure bag with Velcro strap.
